Beloved of God, clothe us in your love, strengthen us to live gently on this earth, give us humility to see all we encounter as precious to you, and teach us to walk with kindness and patience this hour and always.

My God and loving Father, grant me the wisdom to think, speak, and act each day as You want me to. May I never be such a fool as to disagree with Your supreme goodness and wisdom. Nothing on earth can bring me any lasting happiness. Therefore, let me never sin for the sake of anything. I want to live for the perfect happiness for which You created me. Amen.

God, we place our worries in your hands, we ask that you restore your servant to health again, alleviate our worries and sorrow with your gentle love, and grant us the grace and strength to accept this burden.

Thank you for the harvest, that you give us our daily bread. Thank you for the smallest seed which can grow to feed us. Thank you for creating so many tastes and textures, colours and aromas. We wonder at these miracles and give thanks for all these gifts.

Give wisdom and discernment to all Your children as we travel through this hurting world, and may Your peace that passes understanding flood the hearts and minds of all Christian - and equip us all to share the good news of the glorious gospel of grace... to all who are searching for a 'peace' that only comes from You, in Jesus name we pray.
